Kitchen with juice and things that they like to eat.

The drain cleaner snakes or jets the line and rarely are they able to see the items flowing past.Also in some cases it's a combination, it could be an old cast iron pipe with a rough inside surface full of rust, which started to act like velcro to things that flows past, or a slight settlement causing a belly, which again impedes the flow, then the tenant pours down grease, pasta and bean, well, you get the idea.Most of the time you end up eating the cost especially if the plumber can't tell you anything.Now, you mentioned that the clog caused water to back up to a vacant unit next door. 

I want to know as the owner builder if the sewer has a belly I call back my sub and they fix it. 

It was a great first investment and helped get the landlord juices flowing....

I had 3 full time teams of door knockers.. that's how you make money in this business.. belly to belly.. but they got deals from those. cost me maybe 2k per car. 

It juices your margins and gives you the opportunity to actually learn about the nuances of your property and the real estate business as a whole.

That helped me find the fire in my belly and my desire to succeed was greater than the fear of failing.Those of you who know me are aware that I'm verb big on education.

We could see that In MF also since most buy those units and max leverage to juice paper returns it does not take a staggering vacancy rate to spell trouble for some of those properties. 

If we go into a tailspin it doesn't bide well for other countries and might hit a global recession.Most investment cycles go about 10 years but tax policies juiced out further a prolonged expansion.

@Lee Bell, I just always want one more...lol
